    Just watched this video in 2021: excellent! It's funny reading all the comments, with the same pattern of "You made a mistake", followed by the host's explanation, followed by "Oops my bad".
    I'm not a good guitar player at all, but I do play piano and I get the theory. All the modes use the same major scale, just starting from a different note and making that note the new root to which things resolve. In the case of Lydian, it's the 4th position.
    But when creating music, do whatever sounds good. I just fiddled with a chord progression of Dmaj7, Amaj7, Fmaj7, Cmaj7, then resolving on Amaj7. What modes are involved? Don't know, don't care.

  • @acepaul407
    @acepaul407 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Over the years, the way I learned the flavor of each mode is to concentrate on the notes that are sharp/flat from the major scale. In the case of Lydian, I make sure the #4 is really emphasized in my soloing/progression. If not, it's going to sound like a major scale. For the Mixolydian I make sure the b7 is emphasized or else it's going to sound major.

  • @luisarmenta2619
    @luisarmenta2619 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm struggling, but I think I understand and hopefully explain to anybody stuck/ correct me if I'm wrong also. So in the most simple way possible:
    Every chord has a mode
    For example: I want to play A lydian. To do this, someone can play an A major chord. I then can use the D Major scale pattern, it will contain all the notes in A lydian (6:46)
    Ok, now that I know the pattern, I can focus what notes to land on. You have to play the #4 to get a Lydian feel. (this note is the same as the 7th if you know the D major scale pattern intervals), also try to play the triad of the chord which is the 1,3,5, and 7. (which is the 4th, 6th, 1st, and 3rd of a Dmajor scale pattern respectively)
    What I guess is the thing I don't get, is how to seamlessly change between the patterns. It is tedious to do this for me at the moment. Remembering what intervals correspond from a mode to it's parent major scale is hard. If anyone has tips/other ways to do this that would help.

  • @MichaelLeeMetalProject
    @MichaelLeeMetalProject 6 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    just let the tonic ring out whilst playing the scale and the Lydian sound comes to life.
    But without the tonic being played over the scale, I find it a bit difficult to distinguish the mode. Great lesson as always!

    • @fretjamguitar
      @fretjamguitar  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It's true it does lose its quality a bit when you're playing it away from the tonic (such as the examples shown from 3:28). But Lydian can also help to melodically "blend" maj7 movements away from the tonic. Depending on how quick the chord changes are, you might not pick up on that #4 quality. But it does give us a reliable bunch of tones to cover those more rebellious maj7 chords.

    • @dougcameron6609
      @dougcameron6609 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      fretjam Interesting because he meant the scale in with nothing else while you were thinking over another chord than the root during a progression. In what way are you meaning rebellious?

    • @fretjamguitar
      @fretjamguitar  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@dougcameron6609 Sorry I may have misunderstood Michael's comment. I was thinking more about playing Lydian in the tonic position of a progression vs away from the tonic and how that effects its sound. Something I was thinking about a lot when making this video. By rebellious I mean maj7 chords that aren't strictly a part of a "natural" key and can often throw us. For example bII, bIII, bVI and bVII in major keys. If a maj7 occurs on these degrees, Lydian (on the same root as the chord) is a reliable way of playing through them.

    Question - at 3:33 you talk about how Ionian tends to be used for the major key tonic (as in over the I chord), with lydian covering any major 7th chords that might occur away from it then show a diagram showing A as the root note and Amaj7 as the tonic chord. What I think you mean is if you're playing any other chords in that key that are major 7 chords, you can play lydian over them? So for example you could play C Lydian over the bIII chord in this example? By the way what key is that that has all those major flat 7s? Thanks!

    • @fretjamguitar
      @fretjamguitar  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes that diagram was an example of some common maj7 lydian chords occuring away from an Amaj tonic. It would be the key of A assuming the progression resolves on A.

I would say you're playing a 1-3-b3-5 progression relative to the A major key, but I don't get why this b3 can be a M7 chord.

    Totally confusing. If I'm playing D lydian... the seventh chord is C# minor, not a Major chord as you've stated. Then on one lick you have a lydian run resolving on a 5; which would be a no no, yes, because resolving on a 5 in lydian would make your ear think you've switched back to the major key the lydian mode is borrowed from, example, with D lydian a resolve on the note A would make your ear think the song is in A Major instead of D lydian, yes? Seems like if I'm in D lydian resolving on the A note, the "V," sort of defeats the purpose of playing D lydian in the first place.

    For some reason when playing Lydian my ear always wants to resolve to the 7th degree of the scale, to the point where the modal tonic note feels unresolved until flattened to its 7th degree. I don't know if this is common but it's puzzling because an A over an AM7 chord should feel just as or more resolved than a G#, no?

    • @fretjamguitar
      @fretjamguitar  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You know, I hear the same! And I've only recently observed this in my own playing. The lydian tonic does often sound a bit TOO consonant, if that makes sense. It's almost like the #4 sets the path towards avoiding that tonic sound. I know exactly what you mean. It could be because the #4 is a perfect 5th from the 7. There's something so resolutely attractive about perfect 5ths in music. I think the answers lie in psychoacoustics and how certain frequencies relate to one another. But I totally agree, the lydian tonic is not as "strong" as it is in other major scales. Very thought provoking to read your comment!

    Excused me Sir , I'm wonder if there's mistake in here Sir, If you choose Amaj7 as Ionian and the Lydian Mode should be Amaj7,Bmaj7,C#maj7,D#maj,F#maj,G#maj? , as your expamle in 3:33 that would be Lydian of Abmaj7, in otherway that's exp is considered as Amaj7 Phrygian??, and another , in 6:03 , you said that : " Lydian can also be seen as the fourth mode of major scale ( that's correct) for exp : F lydian would be the equivalent of playing the C major scale ( That's correct) from its fourth degree of F (That 's not correct because the C is the fifth degree of F not the fourth degree), then we have a structure : Tonic Lydian= fifth degree Major Scale,and i didn't see in your video that mentioned the Mixolydian major Scale , in the next exp you give the B Lydian= F# major scale ( The F# is the ,fifth degree Major Scale of B Major Scale, fifth degree of B not the fourth degree) , I'm know that just a little mistake and i know that you also didn't mean that mistake , because your knowlegde and the way you teach in your channel is wonderfull, i 'm just hope it can be understood perfectly.sorry for my bad english :(, trust me i don't mean to judge you :(

      In the first example, all you need to know is that Lydian will work over any occurrence of a maj7 chord (same root for Lydian and the chord), no matter where it occurs in a progression. The chords I displayed in that table at 3:33 were examples of where a maj7 chord might occur in the A major key, over which Lydian could work. These aren't necessarily diatonic chords, but are still used in the key.
      Secondly, in regards to "from its fourth degree of F" - all I meant was that F is on the fourth degree of the C major scale (C - D - E - F).
      I'm finding it difficult to follow your other examples and why they appear as mistakes to you, but I think there is a misunderstanding here. B Lydian is indeed the same as playing an F# major scale pattern because B lies on the 4th degree of F# major (hence 4th mode Lydian). Count the major scale degrees from F# (F# - G# - A# - B ... 1 - 2 - 3 - 4). It seems as though you're inverting the relationship which is where the confusion is arising. There are no mistakes in this video I can say that with confidence.

      Lydian dominant. The Simpsons theme uses a b7. It has a slightly different feel, but the #4 is there.
